Many of you know that Betsy and I grow roses. We have 57 different variety of roses growing in our yard, most of which can be seen in the photo above. This picture was taken from the road in font of our house.

The picture above was taken standing at the house looking toward the road. The rose bed in the foreground is our ‘big’ rose bed and contains 22 roses. This is our oldest rose bed. The rose bed in the background is along the road and contains 7 roses in addition tulips, iris, lilies and day lilies. We put in this flower bed after building the retaining wall.

The rose bed on the opposite side of the driveway from our ‘big’ rose bed is the ‘small’ rose bed. It contains 10 roses.

The amount of roses you have is staggering. And now I will tell you something. I lived with multi-generations growing up, including my great grandfather.. He was a carpenter until he got out to help at an accident on a snowy road and two cars pinned him between them. He lost both legs. It was then that he took to painting and growing roses. Not as many kinds as you, but they circled the yard in a ring. He made himself a dolly on wheels and would scoot around and around tending his lovely roses. End of my personal rose story.
